The head of each department has to submit monthly reports to management on the productivity of their teams. These reports are automatically generated by our CRM software and can be shown as a line-graph, bar-graph or pie-graph. I sent the usual line-graph version and my boss blew-up at our team saying the figures were too low and something needed to be done about it. The day after, I resent the same report using a pie-graph and he was pleased with the new level of performance. FAIL!
